Lethbridge, the wind might literally pick up your doghouse today

SHARE

Your week is about to get wild, Lethbridge

Good morning from the coulees — the wind's up, the sky's wide, and Lethbridge has something to say.

Look, anyone who's been out and about this morning can feel it, but the alerts are starting to come in officially. Southern Alberta is under a serious weather warning, and it's not just the usual blustery day. We're expecting some pretty significant conditions to roll in, making travel dicey and outdoor activities risky. The specifics are still coming in, but the fact that multiple warnings are active means you need to pay attention to Environment Canada's updates throughout the day. This isn't just a chinook arch bringing warm winds; this is the kind of system that closes down highways and piles up the snow, or brings winds that could lift a doghouse off its foundations, especially on the exposed west side near the university.

Prepare for high winds, potentially heavy snow, and reduced visibility across the region. Make sure your vehicles are ready, your emergency kits are stocked, and you're checking those road reports before heading anywhere beyond your front door. The High Level Bridge, always a good indicator, is probably going to be a real beast today.

Stay safe out there, Lethbridge.
